No AIDS does not spread by mosquito bite, or else it would be a known fact. When a mosquito bites someone, the AIDS virus immediately disappears from the blood, thus mosquitoes don't carry it with them anymore... so when they bite someone else, the other person does not get infected... don't worry, you can't get AIDS through a mosquito bite^^

I have been told that AIDS can NOT spread through a mosquito bite, because the mosquito has a significantly lower body temperature than a human does, and that kills the virus. Perhaps it also has something to do with the mosquito ingesting the blood, and digesting it. If you are concerned, you should see a healthcare professional.

This is a big myth, No you cannot get HIV or AIDS from a mosquito bite. for one thing mosquitoes do not inject you with blood it already has, mosquitoes ingests the virus like a meal killing it. the quantity of blood in a mosquito is too small. You can't get HIV/AIDS from a mosquito bite or smashing it.
